Life 1984

Chapter 30 Dream of getting rich!
Li Yunhai needed to dismantle the machines to verify whether these copiers were just useless foreign garbage or scrap machines that could be repurposed.

Since the 20s, my country's rapidly growing manufacturing and construction industries have required a large amount of plastics, metals, paper and other raw materials. The processed solid waste from developed countries can just fill the gap in raw materials, and some "foreign waste" with secondary use value can be imported. Garbage” is a last resort, and solid waste imports emerged.

All kinds of imported suits, dresses, jeans and even women's underwear were sold on the street stalls. The prices ranged from a few yuan to hundreds of yuan each. They were bought from the coast and other places. These clothes were called " Foreign garbage".

The used copy machines were also brought in at this time.

Li Yunhai took apart one of the copiers and found that it was complete with all the necessary spare parts.

"Master Shi, can I try it out?"

Shi Wentao was obviously taken aback, and then shook his head like a rattle: "That's impossible! You don't have to expect these machines to run. It costs 600 yuan a ton, and you still expect it to make copies for you?"

Li Yunhai thought about it, and his requirements were a bit too high.

He dismantled several more copiers, including defective ones that looked new, and older obsolete ones.

Li Yunhai discovered that the structures of these copiers were complete.

He tried to negotiate the price with Shi Wentao.

Shi Wentao just shook his head and waved his hands, saying that for 600 yuan a ton, even if it was waste, you would not suffer a loss.

Li Yunhai pondered slightly.

He had to make a choice as soon as possible!

The first is to cooperate with Brother Guang and spend 4 yuan to buy back 5 copiers and then sell them to banks in Xizhou. If nothing goes wrong, he can earn more than 2 yuan.

The advantage of this is that he only needs to act as a middleman and make more than 2 yuan.But the biggest difficulty is that Li Yunhai does not have enough funds. He must find a way to solve the financial problem as soon as possible.

Raising 4 yuan is difficult for him now.

The second is to cooperate with Shi Wentao and use his only more than 2000 yuan to buy several tons of discarded copy machines, find ways to repair and transform them, and assemble five usable machines.

If successful, he can earn [-] to [-] yuan!
In case of failure?

Then he didn't lose much. He spent more than 2000 yuan and bought a bunch of spare parts.However, he will miss the bank's order.

There is also a best-of-both-worlds solution, that is, if he has enough money, he can carry out these two transactions at the same time!

Therefore, Li Yunhai, who lacks funds, seems to have a choice, but in fact he has no choice!

"Master Shi, I don't bargain. But I have a request. Can you deliver the goods to Xizhou? It can be done at the train station or bus station. When you get there, I'll call the car to pick you up."

"Xizhou? Take rail freight! I can arrange consignment. How many tons do you want to buy?"

"Let me buy 3 tons first!"

Shi Wentao was obviously disappointed: "You only bought 3 tons! I have to cover the shipping cost? Then how much money do I make?"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "Mr. Shi, when doing business, you have to take a long-term view! It's my first time to cooperate with you. I have to know how useful these copiers can be, right? If I place an order for tens of thousands of yuan for you now, Do you think I'm a fool?"

Shi Wentao burst out laughing: "It seems that you are indeed a businessman! Okay, this business is done! Mr. Li, let me tell you this! The best source of first-hand copy machines in the country is ours. . If you buy this batch, you will definitely come to me for goods in the future. Let’s leave a contact information!”

Li Yunhai has a store in Xizhou, but there is no telephone installed.

There is no phone at Shen Xiulan's home.

The only families Li Yunhai knew that had telephones were Lin Zhi's and Liu Shitao's.

These machines will be sold to Liu Shitao in the future, so it is best not to let him know the lowest price.

Therefore, Li Yunhai left Lin Zhi's home phone number and explained to Shi Wentao: "This is the phone number of my friend's home. If there is an emergency, you can ask them to tell me. My store will install a phone in the future. I’ll tell you right away.”

Shi Wentao said hello.

Li Yunhai paid for three tons of copy machines, a total of 1800 yuan.

Shi Wentao issued a receipt to him.

Li Yunhai made an agreement with him and asked him to deliver the goods as soon as possible.

Shi Wentao said there is no problem, you can receive the goods in about three days.

Li Yunhai was dumbfounded when he heard it!
It takes three days to receive the goods.

Liu Shitao said that he would only give Li Yunhai one week!
It has been two days since he arrived in Huacheng!
If it was delayed for another three days, where would he have time to repair and modify these copiers?

Li Yunhai had to buy more time and asked: "Master Shi, is there a faster way to deliver the goods to Xizhou?"

Shi Wentao shook his head helplessly: "Unless you have a car, you can leave immediately. The 700-kilometer journey will arrive tomorrow. What's wrong? Are you in a hurry to use this batch of goods?"

Li Yunhai said yes, and then asked him where he could find the return bus to Xizhou.

The return car is a car that drives from Xizhou, delivers goods to Huacheng, and then returns to Xizhou.

If you take a truck like this, it will definitely be very cheap because it is a free ride.

Shi Wentao thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I thought of a person. He is a truck driver traveling to Xizhou. Let me ask him if he is in Huacheng."

He invited Li Yunhai to come to the office.

There is a young and beautiful woman in the office, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and a pair of high-heeled sandals. She is confident, generous, comfortable and natural, and her slender legs are white and straight.She has short hair down to her neck, delicate facial features, clean complexion, soft and charming, smart and pretty.

Li Yunhai was used to seeing Lin Zhi's elegance and Shen Xiulan's dignity and delicacy. When he suddenly saw this pretty woman, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.Shi Wentao introduced her: "Little sister, this is my client Mr. Li Yunhai. Mr. Li, this is my sister, Shi Wenyin."

Li Yunhai nodded to her and said, "Hello, Miss Shi."

Shi Wenyin chuckled and said, "Hello, please sit down. Do you want tea or coffee?"

Li Yunhai said I drink tea.

Shi Wenyin made a cup of tea and brought it over, placing it in front of Li Yunhai.

A burst of elegant fragrance hit his nostrils, making Li Yunhai's mind move, and his eyes could not help but follow Shi Wenyin's beautiful body.

But he quickly calmed down, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Shi Wentao calmly.

After Shi Wentao sat down, he picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number.

The call was answered quickly.

Shi Wentao asked the other party to find Mr. Ding Qiang.

After 2 minutes, there was a response on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Ding Qiang, this is Shi Wentao. Are you in Huacheng? Are you going back to Xizhou today? Are you going back? That's great. Help me carry 3 tons of goods back to Xizhou! I'll pay for the freight. Okay, come with me Company!"

Shi Wentao put down the phone and smiled at Li Yunhai: "You are so lucky. Ding Qiang's truck will return to Xizhou today. He will drive over to load the goods later and leave after loading."

Li Yunhai breathed a long sigh of relief, a big thing was finally done.

Shi Wentao handed him a cigarette and asked, "Mr. Li, is the copier market in Xizhou big?"

Li Yunhai took the cigarette, took out his own, handed one to him, and said, "I've just started this business, and I don't know if I can sell it yet! As for repairs, I think it's okay."

Shi Wentao didn't have the air of a boss at all. He picked up an imported steel lighter, made a crisp sound, opened the lid, lit it with a snap, and handed it to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai just took out the matchbox, put it away again when he saw it, and lit a cigarette with the flame of the other party's lighter.

Shi Wenyin said from the side: "Mr. Li, why don't you come to Huacheng to develop? Huacheng's market is larger and freer. I heard that inland provinces still have many restrictions on individual economies, right?"

Li Yunhai took a puff of cigarette and said: "Yes, but I believe that I will let go step by step. I also know that Huacheng is good, but I don't want to come to Huacheng for development yet. Maybe I will come in the future!"

The three of them chatted, and a worker came in to report that Mr. Ding Qiang had arrived.

Shi Wentao brought Li Yunhai out.

Ding Qiang is a young driver, in his 30s, with a crew cut and a straight back. He looks like he has served in the military.

Li Yunhai shook hands with Ding Qiang, handed him a cigarette, and asked, "Are you a veteran? Are you driving for yourself or for your unit?"

Ding Qiang grinned: "I served in the army, and now I am a truck driver for a company in Xizhou. I often go to Huacheng. When I came here, I helped deliver goods to the government. When I return, I can take a truck of goods back with me. Just make some pocket money and use it!"

As soon as Li Yunhai heard this, he knew that this was a smart-minded person who used public trucks and public oil to gain some benefits for himself. This kind of behavior is very common. People who don't do this will be scolded to death. brain.

Ding Qiang drove a Dongfeng EQ140 truck, which was already half loaded with cargo and covered with tarpaulin. He didn't know what it was.

This truck is very good and has good handling performance. It was first equipped to the military and rarely used by civilians. Later, the small glass Dongfeng gradually developed for civilian use.

Li Yunhai guessed from this truck that Ding Qiang's company may be related to the military industry, and Xizhou strategically belongs to the Huacheng Military Region. Ding Qiang often travels between the two places, which also shows from the side that his company is likely to be related to the military industry. .

Guesses are just guesses. This is someone's privacy. If they don't tell, Li Yunhai won't ask.

Shi Wentao called for workers to load the goods.

Li Yunhai watched from the side as they weighed, loaded the truck, and covered it with tarpaulin.

Three tons of cargo, just a little more.

The copiers loaded this time are all Ricoh copiers from the same batch. Each one weighs about 300 kilograms, and there are 20 of them in total!
Li Yunhai spent 1800 yuan to buy 20 Ricoh copiers. On average, each machine cost no more than 100 yuan.

After loading the goods, Ding Qiang asked Li Yunhai: "Are you going back to Xizhou? I can take someone with you!"

Li Yunhai didn't want it, so he said yes!when are you leaving?

Ding Qiang said I will leave now!Is there anything else you need to do?

Li Yunhai said that I have nothing to do. My luggage is stored in the hotel. Can you send me there first?
Ding Qiang said there was no problem.

Shi Wentao called Ding Qiang into the office to settle the freight.

After a while, Ding Qiang came out and got into the truck with Li Yunhai.

Shi Wentao waved goodbye to the two of them.

The door of the factory opened and Ding Qiang drove away.

Li Yunhai first went to the hotel to get his luggage, and then took Ding Qiang's car back to Xizhou.

Along the way, Li Yunhai was dreaming of getting rich!

If he could repair these copiers, he could indeed make a fortune!

But I don’t know, can he get what he wants?
